Five days later and Vertigo still has me in its grasps. Started prednisone today. Hopefully but works. I’m improving but still dizzy and nauseous. Can’t drive or work. Doc thinks it should be gone by end of weekend. We’ll see. MRI on Friday to rule out anything.

Get well soon.

Also, I am too ocd for earplugs i have at least 6 different types. I dont like how they feel in my ears, the pressure. And I have tinnitus so there's a constant tape hiss. But most of the time i have my own room. But this time the hotel was full. Good night.

Oh Matty, that’s terrible. In sorry to hear you’re still feeling bad. Hopefully the steroids will kick this vertigo to the curb. Good luck with your mri.

Hang in there @Matty123 Hope everything sorts itself out.

Thanks Everbody. It’s like being drunk when you dont intend or desire…and having the spins. But I think I’m
improving.

@Filthy I hear you on the OCD, pressure and the tinnitus: I recomend wax ear plugs that you can mold. Like
The ones they sell at cvs. The font add much pressure. You kind of control how Hard you want to put them in.

I recommend an app called White Noise that my wife and I use to book out/distract from unwanted sounds.

iPhone 8 screens are as slick as ice. My office mailbox is located on a marina on Lake Union in Seattle. This morning when grabbing the mail I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dropped it on the marina. Phone then proceeded to slide right into the lake…. Was able to fish it out with a net. Last time I don't buy Applecare.

All modern smartphones are slippery glass-sandwiches and a case is mandatory for better handling. It does ruin the looks of any phone, though.

I can't imagine how difficult it is to deal with vertigo. I heard the Brandt-Daroff Exercise is quite helpful.

Thanks @Omega Man I’ll take any recommendations. It is improving, but it’s a slow process. Thank you

Did you see an Ear,Nose and Throat doctor? The spins/rotational vertigo is the worst. That’s what I had,but it was random. It was called Benign Positional Vertigo,because it was brought on by a certain head movement.

Hey @Jett129 yes I saw an internist and an ENT doc yesterday. He thinks
Mine is do to an upper respiratory infection I had a few weeks back. The MRI Friday is to just make sure it’s nothing else. Doc seems confident so I am as well. Thanks man

Jett129

Good luck and keep us posted.

Matty123

Will do brother.

Thanks Ed. These steroids seem to be working well. The insomnia that comes along with them
Is a real treat to behold ???

Holy cow - that's quite unfortunate…

I really couldn't do anything but laugh the situation was so ridiculous. I could literally look down to the bottom and see my phone sitting there with the screen on. Wish I got a picture but obviously didn't have a phone.

I guess I was due. I got my first cell phone going into college in 2004, yesterday was the first time I have ever had to prematurely replace a phone due to damage. Every other time I've replaced a phone it was after a solid 3-5 years of use and was retired because it was fried.
